It fixed itself as randomly as it broke itself.
Did someone see this post of mine:
I took a big risk and added someone who got sniped on Indie Pack bidding and proposed a trade. I'll give him Indie Pack and he'll win Painter for me and give the remaining value of my winning bid in gems.
It went very well
He even gave me more gems than my winning bid for Indie Pack was worth.

Where's the indie pack? Can't see it on the auction.
Dont forget their unissued SKSs. Buy one today!
It's called Designer for some reason when searching.

Wow, I sent this last night, but modbot was super slow.
Some DLC I'm not sure if anyone wants, plus Sounddodger.

Meh this GameRepublic website had a price error or something selling Space Engineers for £0.00.

Manly tear of respect had been shed.
I want to ask, is Substance Designer worth it? And what is it for actually? I have read the description and still unsure.
I'm thinking of getting Substance Painter only and I already got Bitmap2Material3.
Just a bug on Enhanced Steam/Isthereanydeal. The game was not actually in a price error at all.

Ah.
Enhanced Steam isn't working very well at all for me at the moment. Won't flag up international prices, or trade restrictions.
Yeah but that would give the whole gimmick away. Basically don't treat it like a normal boss fight is all I can say it's not about being super powered but does require a little logical thought. And even that's some super big spoilery pointers.
I'm about 10 GFWL achievements short of 1000ing it so knowing my indecisiveness it might be a while until I get those. Though I might just get on with the Steam ones as I've got a retail copy and as long as GFWL is up and able to log in it shouldn't be an issue for me.

It is until you realize that winning depends on as much luck as it does on skill. But woah, sold my cards too soon (won the game through ModBot though....).
Am I slowpoke or is that new?
Slowpoke-ish
. We know that for a few hours now. TF2/Dota2/CS:GO items all got those restrictions.I just use mouse look and swivel my head outside the window.

I think it's some problem with my gamepad configuration, maybe the dead zone is too big or something, because control is a little weird, even when on the road I have to constantly keep adjusting the direction.
You using a pad too? how do you have it set up?

Darkness Within 2 & Verde Station won, so far so good. I am aiming to win 10 games total, so 8 more to go, and I'm VERY close, in the top 5 for all 8 of the games right now. Feels good, especially as I haven't paid a cent for gems, these all come from the backgrounds and emotes I had in my inventory from badge crafting.
At the current rate DOA5 is 9.6$ in Russia.

If anyone knows a trader that can take paypal let me know please, I'd definitely buy it for around 10$.
Thanks, I have it slightly different, but my problem is with the deadzone or sensitivity settings I think, did you mess with that or just leave it default?

is there a place with updated listings? I guess SteamDB can't keep up with the fall.
Freedom = $1.05

There's a gent in the BST thread but he is a bit generous with his cut of the transaction. Wonder if he'll update to current-day prices or if he'll keep steady.

Yeah, I hate seeing all achievements with the same unlock date too so I started a fresh save. The achievement set isn't particularly hard anyways and it's ton of fun replaying the game for a 3rd time.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
why the change of currency? Wouldn't russian folks buying locally get affected too?
At the rate things are going I don't even know if I'm going to come out of all this with a profit of even a few cents. I might have lost money already!
This is fast turning into a nightmare if one didn't read the signs early and exploit the gem market hard and fast when everything started.

Sold my crap and made £5. Fools be fools.
would you? (><)
I like how people assume that conversion fees of banks don't exists, paypal fees don't exist, etc.. Even if you buy of the friend you still take those fees on yourself, unless you expect them to gift you part of the price every time. That's not how it works, you can't buy a game at a face value, well, you probably can in separate cases, but most of the time you can't. And nobody updates prices in real time, shops included, why would people do so? what if they bought a game when it was more expensive?
or you can disregard all that, dunno why I even typed all this obvious stuff, need to play some games for fun it seems, as I'm getting grumpy (><)
I can't tell much about Designer. I chose Painter because it's more familiar to me and I don't like to mess with nodes much.
The average auction by now should be somewhere around 15,000 gems.
That means that every 45 minutes 2,000 games X 15,000 gems disappear from the market.
That's a loss of 30,000,000 gems every 45 minutes.
That's 960,000,000 gems disappearing just for today.
At market value of 1.35$ (CAN), that symbolizes 1,296,000 $ being 'spent' on games today.
2 new impressions videos for me.

Hahaha I knew you'd understand. Yeah they're pretty straight forward if I recall you just have to make sure you maximise each playthrough to get the maximum amount of spells, hexes and unique weapons and such.
Yeah, I kept raising it while moving the sticks left and right until I don't see any movement.
If it happens, they would be severely effected since transactions in USD would be massively inflated due to the dwindling Rouble. The better solution is to use a currency that is more similar to the value where the Rouble used to be (maybe Turkish lira?). This would still increase costs for Russian users, but no where near as dramatically as USD would.
Still haven't finished the main game... :,(
3 zeroes too many on the last figure there

There's a rumour going around that RUB will disappear from Steam OR all prices will stay with RUB, but all products on Steam will be equal to the current dollar exchange rate.
if you're curious, $1 is 73-ish RUB (for now).
For an example, CS Complete Pack costs 499 RUB, in US $29.99 (CIS $17.99).
If you'll convert this price into the current exchange rate, you'll get $8.55.
We're doomed, DOOMED!

It's a game-alanche! Just grabbed some stuff from the land of Bears and Games, and then just won a cheap auction for Fotonica (3,700 or so). Got Leviathan yesterday, have my eye on one more auction target today, then i'm getting out of the auctions. If I end up w/ 3 games from the Auction i'm not going to complain, given all my gems came from recycling my inventory garbage, and the 3 games were already on my wishlist.
My big bugaboo is going to be the winter sale. With my new PC showing up January 5th, and it being such a dramatic improvement over my current one (2 generations newer processor, 4X the ram, moving from a 650Ti to a GTX 980), I am going to have to fight the urge to over-buy stuff "just to try it out on my new machine when it gets here." I've got more than enough stuff in the backlog already!

Your 15,000 estimate is too high. There are currently 42 pages of auctions 1000 gems or less, and only 4 pages of games higher than 15k.
Well, I am including the profile that is hanging at half a million gems.
Even if we divide that number by 3. That's still 320,000,000 gems every day.

Yeah, I'm not gonna bother re-installing the game for this. Once the Celebrimbor mission hits I'll roll through both of these and re-attain my 100%.
I was going. To say the same thing. Average price is probably closer to half of what he estimated.

Going all in with 777 gems and I'm even willing to go as high as 800. No one can stop me.
